Why is it important?
as contemporary religious institutions have different postures in relation to public space, there may be a tendency in the same institution to use public space for the benefit of an identity block, as well as authentic engagement with the public agenda. it is important to know how to distinguish such discursive practices from a religious tradition.
Perspectives
Theology has the task of translating traditional wisdoms into engagement in public ethics. The 2030 Agenda is an example of this authentic engagement of religions and theologies.
